Property Owners Owe Visitors a Duty to Keep the Property Safe

The law requires that facility and property owners take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of visitors who are legally on the property.

Duties of Care That Facility and Property Owners Assume

• Maintain the property to keep it safe
• Resolve property hazards within a reasonable timeframe
• While the hazard is being resolved, alert others to the danger

When a property owner breaches any of the above duties, and someone is injured as a result of this negligence, the owners could be liable for damages sustained by the accident victim.
